Bik Van der Pol

The Disappearance Piece, 1998–onwardsUnlimited print of facsimile of original book Dimensions Variable

As an artist duo with Liesbeth Bik (b. 1959) and Jos van der Pol (b. 1961), Bik van der Pol have worked together for over two decades as conceptual and installation artists. Much of their practice focuses on information, as well as how and whether it is distributed and erased, with an open-ended approach that creates a space for dialogue. By asking users and visitors to engage differently, their projects forged new collective and subjective experiences, and also reconfiguring what constitutes a public and the potential of public space.
